over the world, no transitional forms have yet been uncovered. All of
the fossils, contrary to the evolutionists' expectations, show that life

appeared on Earth all of a sudden and fully-formed.
One famous British paleontologist, Derek V. Ager, admits this

fact, even though he is an evolutionist:
The point emerges that if we examine the fossil record in detail,

whether at the level of orders or of species, we find – over and over
again – not gradual evolution, but the sudden explosion of one
group at the expense of another. 31

This means that in the fossil record, all living species suddenly

emerge as fully formed, without any intermediate forms in between.
This is just the opposite of Darwin's assumptions. Also, this is very

strong evidence that all living things are created. The only explana-
tion of a living species emerging suddenly and complete in every de-

tail without any evolutionary ancestor is that it was created. This fact
is admitted also by the widely known evolutionist biologist Douglas

Futuyma:

Creation and evolution, between them, exhaust the possible expla-
nations for the origin of living things. Organisms either appeared on
the earth fully developed or they did not. If they did not, they must

have developed from pre-existing species by some process of modi-
fication. If they did appear in a fully developed state, they must in-

deed have been created by some omnipotent intelligence. 32
Fossils show that living beings emerged fully developed and in a

perfect state on the earth. That means that "the origin of species,"
contrary to Darwin's supposition, is not evolution, but creation.
